Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />CONSIDER APPROVING AMENDED ASSESSMENT MANUAL (POLICIES AND <br />PROCEDURES GUIDE) <br />Mr. Berkowitz explained the City Council is requested to consider approving the amendments to the <br />Assessment Manual (Policies & Procedures Guide) to address how improvements to existing gravel <br />roads would be assessed. Proposed changes to the Assessment Manual that would allow the City <br />Council to approve a 50% assessment rate based on total project cost were included. The revision <br />also identifies criteria that the City Council can consider to determine if the petitioned project is <br />viable and should be partially funded by the City's Road & Bridge Fund. <br />Mr. Berkowitz further explained the annual cost for the City to maintain gravel roads is close to the <br />same as paved roads. For gravel roads there is dust control which is sprayed once during the <br />summer, grading the road which occurs 4 to 5 times per year and reshaping (adding additional class <br />5) which occurs approximately once every 4 years. For a paved surface the maintenance items <br />include crack seal and seal coat once every 8 years and annual sweeping costs. <br />Although the annual maintenance cost may be similar, the long term replacement cost is not. The <br />current policy is 25% of the roadway reconstruction is assessed to benefitting properties and the <br />remaining cost is funded by the City. Gravel roads do not have a replacement cost. <br />The City Council is requested to consider approving the amended Assessment Manual (Policies & <br />Procedures Guide). <br />
